SACRED GAIA

Ecology

James Lovelocks Gaia theory considers the Earth as a whole, with its evolution and the evolution of life upon it merging into a single process. From this dynamic system emerged conditions favorable for sustaining life in every organism and species, including our own. In this important book, Anne Primavesi develops the religious implications of this theory and presents for the first time a coherent theology rooted in "awe at the sacredness of the whole earth system." This is a remarkable and thought-provoking book, both challenging and clearly-written.
